OK.
KISS. :)
gives stations shields and armour. (say 10k or more of each)
s station will only accept you to dock (or rent an office) if you have positive faction rating to its owning faction.
every corp must ally itself with an existing faction (avg emplyee faction rating MUST be positive to the faction in question)
so... if someone comes and starts shooting at the station - sheilds go up and no-one can dock for say 2 minutes.
if an opposing faction can reduce shields and armour to 0 and then dock a ship - they claim the station for their faction. now until the station repairs itself (say in 30 min) whoever is the last person to dock claims the station. (shields go up again and defend for the currently owning faction)
so if a faction comes in, wears out the station and docks and can stop anyone else from docking for repair time (say 30 min) they "claim" the stationand then all offices of the wrong faction are thrown out, and the new owning faction can rent offices/factories/labs.
this gives a damn good reason for claiming stations - and allying with different factions.
and if a station in a system is owned by a faction, it shows up on the map as owned by thet faction (or "under dispute")
of course - faction navy will probably fly in to protect their own stations - including pirates :)

Yep.. i agree. (with above) to a degree...
you need the claiming of stations though.
if you can claim a station for a faction, you make it harder for people to mine for minerals in that system (as has to be hauled elsewhere to refine the minerals/ build ships etc)
if you make the market also faction based - ie, you cannot use ANY station services unless you personally have positive faction rating to that faction... that makes things very very interesting indeed :)
(and a ps - i think that no faction should fire on a player who has +ve faction rating to them - including pirate factions... they should act like empire navies in pirate space...)

How about some kind of "claim tower"
something small enough to fit in a few indys, and basically lets a ship dock and drop off a few containers.
but if enough of them are in a system then the system is marked as claimed for your faction?
options?

I like it.
wonder when CCP will take a look at this.
(although i am still wondering about factions claiming existing stations, please?)

ok.
(i like the basic idea, and forwarded a couple of my own)
how to make the "faction" as a whole gain if the faction improves /owns more territory?
faction members get services at faction stations..
ie - without a faction station you cannot do anything basically - see the claiming idea somewhere above.
or
cheaper services for faction members?
i'm scraping here... some more ideas?
i'm starting to side with the idea that isk should be taken out altogether i this equation... but it should be something else altogether.
perhaps security level?
i dont know.
personally i love the faction things... so i would be happy to see people with -ve faction ratings denied docking rights at faction stations - and then allow the right to claim stations for a faction. (note, i say for a faction, not for a corp etc - just that corps can only have offices in their own faction's statinos)

2 things
1) cheap player structures. needed - cargo holds, remote miners, claim markers etc.
2) existing perma-stations should be claimable. (ie those existing stations should be claimable by force by various factions.
factions should get advantages for claiming stations, and for having players corp members having claim markers in planets etc.
whats the advantage - no idea? ideas?
